Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

Why would you need to put a pause on a story that has been meticulously fact-checked and lawyered?

Sounds like the kind of story you’d want to run right away!

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

Correct, insofar as there is no war and hence no war crimes.

Murder on the other hand...
'No evidence of war crimes' in boat strike, Senate Armed Services chair concludes
‘No evidence of war crimes’ in boat strike, Senate Armed Services chair concludes
Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker on Thursday said there’s no evidence war crimes were committed when the U.S. military killed survivors of an initial attack on a suspected drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea in September. The Mississippi Republican — who issued his most detailed statement to date on the Trump administration’s military campaign against alleged drug gangs — said he is satisfied with the information his panel has received from the administration about the Sept. 2 episode and that the military strikes “were conducted based on sound legal advice.” “I have seen no evidence of war crimes,” Wicker said. “It is in the best interest of our national security to support our men and women in uniform when they act based on advice from senior legal advisers.” Probe doubts: Though Wicker on Thursday did not specifically address any other steps his panel might take, his statement signals the GOP-led panel doesn’t intend to further investigate the incident. Democrats, on the other hand, have been pushing for a full probe, even as administration officials say the strikes were lawful. Wicker and top House Armed Services Democrat Jack Reed of Rhode Island vowed to conduct oversight following revelations of the “double tap” strike in a report by The Washington Post last month. On Thursday, Wicker touted the committee’s process of reviewing the events. “When reports first surfaced about a secondary strike, my office immediately directed inquiries to the department to ascertain the veracity of these reports. I promised that SASC would take this matter seriously and conduct thorough oversight. We have done so,” Wicker said. “Both military and civilian Pentagon leaders have worked in good faith to provide answers to us without any delays.” “Today, I am satisfied with all the information I have received on this matter,” he said. What’s next: Democrats are unlikely to agree. Some have pushed for a full investigation, including public hearings with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and requests for Pentagon documents, as well as a public release of the full video of the strike. Hegseth has rebuffed calls to release the entire unedited video. The statement from Wicker comes a day after rank-and-file members of the Senate and House Armed Services committees viewed the full unedited footage of the strike and were briefed by Adm. Frank Bradley, the commander who ordered the second strike. Top lawmakers in both chambers, including Wicker and Reed, were shown the footage in a classified briefing with Bradley earlier this month. But most members of Congress still haven’t seen the footage, and lawmakers in both parties contend everyone in the House and Senate should be allowed to view it. House done: Wicker’s counterpart, House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), declared last week that he didn’t intend to pursue a further investigation after viewing the full footage and receiving a briefing from Bradley. Annual defense policy legislation championed by Wicker also presses the issue on boat strike videos. The bill, which President Donald Trump is set to sign on Thursday, would withhold a quarter of Hegseth’s travel budget until full videos of the myriad strikes are turned over to Congress.

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

The lawless killing spree continues.

The administration justifies this slaughter by claiming there’s an armed conflict.

But it won’t even tell the U.S. public who the supposed enemies are.

Of course, there’s no armed conflict.

And outside armed conflict, we call premeditated killing murder.

New: Trump has never been an ally to Native tribes. But there's one he's been praising all year: the Lumbee Tribe of N.C.

Why? They backed him in 2024.

Now they're about to get full federal recognition -- infuriating other tribes who question their legitimacy. www.huffpost.com/entry/lumbee...
